This collection could possibly represent the first flowering of post-postmoderism: visions of the world that re-imagine reality as more realistic than we can imagine. A compelling presence of a holograph and the up-to-the-second feeling of the most advanced art.

Description

Signed by David Foster Wallace on title page just above his printed name, through which he's drawn a line and added a proofreader's looping "delete" symbol. The book itself is a perfect, unread copy. The dust jacket has a bit of yellowing along its upper edge when taken off book and viewed from inside, and two small, faint, squiggly impressions on its back cover that are visible in angled light--as if made by a ballpoint pen through a couple of sheets of paper, leaving behind an impression of its path but no ink. (Cover photo shows reflections on its mylar cover over jacket.)
